 It seems to be an Exorista with 4 post DC, but then I get lost.
Are the eyes bare ? Does the cercus have long golden hairs or not ?

 a pity that cerci are not visible. With the loupe maybe I saw some golden hairs. But I need chop off the abdomen tip.
Unless Theo can tell anything with these 2 photos. Smile

 Golden hairs should be really golden, that is why they are not simply called yellow. So this is black.
That helps a little.

 Nope.
